I'm glad we got a sequel because I was curious to see how Shane and Illya would work out. I liked that we got more of Illya's true feelings in this book and him realizing that he had more in the world than just Shane. Don't get me wrong I like Shane's character but I felt like he was treated with kid gloves in Heated Rivals. Loved the banter as always and I love that Reid takes the time to properly cover the issues the characters were having

and not just slapping the 'I'm in love so all is cured' band aid on them
